“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?” ~author unknown﻿ ﻿

Hope is the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is distinct from positive thinking, which refers to a therapeutic or systematic process used in psychology for reversing pessimism. ~ wikipedia.org

Hello Coreen , In the Psalm 33:22 & Psalm 39:7 OUR LORD gives a hope that is from the Hebrew text which means to trust or depend or expect .....This hope is a hope I claim today because the LORD has given us HIS only SON .....JESUS' death and resurrection set the standard for this hope so that we are never hopeless no matter ..... I speak a lot on the LIVING HOPE on my blog .....I pray that all people would come to know this kind of hope as well .......Have a great day and nice to be here !!

Hi Coreen, for such a long time and with all the pains and problems, I could say I am a big fan of Hope. I read the story about Pandora, and that is one thing that keeps me motivated. NO matter how long and painful the journey is, there is still hope no matter what. And I agree, one day we will be surprised how we overcome all those obstacles when the only thing that we cling into is our hope. So nice and have a great day my friend :)
